HuffPost snags NBC, NJ online editors

In today's revolving door column, The Huffington Post has hired two new online editors: Craig Kanalley, social media editor at NBC News, and Ethan Klapper, online editor at the National Journal.

A spokesperson with HuffPo confirmed that Kanalley would be returning to the website as senior editor of big news and live events, covering breaking news and ongoing stories like the Summer Olympics and the 2012 election. Klapper, who announced his move today on Twitter, told Poynter that he will start as social media editor at Huffington Post on March 26, overseeing the Huffington Post Politics Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Of note: Kanalley actually left the Huffington Post just three months ago, making him the third editor to leave and then return to the website (joining Style editor Anya Strzemien and International editor Nicholas Sabloff.)

Three months seems like quick turnaround, but apparently there's something about the Huffington Post editors can't appreciate until they're gone.
